My Creed for 2012

I believe a God created the universe.
I believe He is a loving, but just God, who in the end cannot stand sin and imperfection.
I believe that we as human beings were created to have fellowship with God and to bring Him glory.
I believe that our selfish, sinful ways have blinded us to God's goodness and His will for our lives.
I believe that Jesus was a real man, who being God incarnate fulfilled the prophesies of Scripture to redeem mankind and restore fellowship with God for those who believe in Him.
I believe that the Christian Church should be a unified family, working together as the hands and feet of Christ.
I believe that the Christian Church should be accepting of everyone, particularly those on the outskirts of society, rather than judgmental hypocrites who dishonor God.

I believe in our taking personal responsibility for all decisions and actions we make.
I believe that reason was a tool given to man by God, and that we must use it to examine every claim.
I believe that it's okay to disagree with others, peacefully, and that the most important thing is to live a life full of integrity.
I believe that man has both a good and evil nature; the innate goodness of man is given by God, while the sin of a corrupt world usurps our goodness and innocence.
I believe that an absolute truth exists in God, however we cannot view the world without bias, creating the illusion of relativity through contextual histories.
I believe in the equality of the sexes, races, and sexual identities, and that God loves all equally, as we are all equally sinful.
I believe that the measure of a person's worth is based on the quality of his actions with regard to personal responsibility, selfless intentions, level of commitment to their action's right completion, and the loving, Godly influence on those around him or her.
